Interdisciplinary Studies

The Interdisciplinary Studies major offers students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree by integrating substantive course material selected from two or three academic options within existing majors.

This baccalaureate program is designed to attract highly motivated students who wish to coordinate offerings from multiple departments. Potential students selecting this path may be those interested in maritime studies, but do not intend to be licensed professional mariners, ocean scientists, practicing engineers, or logisticians but are likely to be interested in changing careers or enhancing credentials for an existing career. Participation in the Regiment of Midshipmen is optional. To ensure acceptable standards within the major, students will be required to work with an assigned faculty committee of department representatives from the selected areas of study.
